Oh, I totally agree it's possible... ...but that's why it probably won't happen. There's no money in it. Unfortunately, the future is probably...
Yeah, it's kind of funny. Sulla has a review of Brave New World, and he quotes and links to Shafer's Kickstarter at one point midway through,...
Yep, just as detailed by Sulla in his critique. Even Jon Shafer, the designer whose idea it was to implement 1UPT in an attempt to emulate the...
What gets me about that is that it's not even such a complicated concept that they'd need to look at Civ IV. It's a simple matter of cycling...
Yeah, that's pretty good. It made Single_City games much more reasonable. I believe there's a Civ IV mod that allows you to "claim" a square...
No doubt! Of course what gets me in this particular case is that the inflammatory comment isn't actually false--- Civ I is an awful game. I still...
Of course they're obvious. He didn't say that he had no idea that the change in eras was happening. He was saying that you never got a sense of...
This is an important point, I think. Hard limits like "4 spaces between cities" should be considered as an absolutely last resort. Preferably, the...
What can I say? My play style wasn't like that. Unfortunately, it sounds to me like you're saying that since your play style with the slider could...
Nah, I just checked the un-updated 1.0.0.62 install on my other computer, and "Play Now" dumped me straight to a picture of randomly selected...
No, you couldn't automate it because it wasn't always correct to emphasize tech to exactly the point of minimum positive tax income. Granted, the...
Brian Reynolds, Jeff Briggs, and Soren Johnson apparently knew enough to not consult Sid on II, III, and IV. Someone apparently took the "Sid...
Having worked in the industry before, I'd say that the lead dev would be unlikely to have played the game in a form even remotely resembling the...
You have to hand it to Simtex on that. MoM and MoO2 both used that same basic resource allocation system, and it worked pretty well. Even when the...
I think that no matter what map you choose, Deity level ought to be a challenge. If playing on "continents" or "archipelago" maps constitutes...
I think that's a pretty insightful observation. Micromanagement has always been an issue with 4X games. Reducing the effect of micromanagement...
Yes, perhaps that was a poor example. Substitute instead the French Revolution, perhaps. Still, the abstracted advantage of Communism's command...
It's been shown time and time again that when someone says something of theirs is "very large and long", they're probably exaggerating to impress you.
This bothers me quite a bit. Would Russians who are monarchists be hard pressed to switch to communism? Sure.... but historically they did, and it...
That's not completely accurate. Consoles have perpetually been a couple steps removed from computers, and never the twain shall meet. Consoles...
Separate names with a comma.
